Director, Product Owner

The Role:

Joining Moderna means advancing mRNA science to transform medicine. Work with exceptional global teams on a broad pipeline and build a career that makes a real difference for patients.

Moderna is expanding its presence in Madrid, a city known for creativity and innovation. As a key hub for our commercial operations outside the United States, our Madrid office brings our mRNA medicines to patients in Spain. We welcome talent ready to help shape the future of mRNA in the Spanish market.

This is a pivotal product leadership opportunity within Global Supply Chain, owning the integrated commercial lifecycle and value chain for mFLUSIVA, mCOMBRIAX and mRESVIA. You will connect global portfolio, CMC, commercial and supply strategies with market execution, ensuring launches, lifecycle changes and global expansion are coordinated, compliant and supply-ready while maintaining reliable day-to-day performance.

As Product Owner and leader of the integrated Product Team, you will bring together CMC, Supply Chain, Commercial and Regulatory stakeholders to translate strategy into executable plans across launches, variations, technology transfers, manufacturing network changes and steady-state commercial supply. You will own post-launch lifecycle leadership, integrating CMC commercialization, value-stream performance, lifecycle risk and KPI management, manufacturing network strategy and end-to-end supply readiness.

This role combines strategic product ownership with hands-on operational leadership. You will use data, digital capabilities and emerging Generative AI tools to accelerate insight, scenario development, decision-making and continuous improvement, helping Moderna build increasingly connected and responsive product lifecycle and supply-chain operations.

Here's What You'll Do:

• Own the integrated product lifecycle and commercialization agenda across markets, indications, presentations, launches, regulatory changes, transfers, variations and discontinuations, translating global portfolio and commercial strategies into clear requirements, milestones, dependencies, decisions and accountable owners.
• Establish and lead cross-functional lifecycle and launch governance across CMC, including stage gates, readiness criteria, Commit-to-File/Commit-to-Launch processes, launch coordination and integration into long-range planning, IBP, Product Phase S&OP/S&OE and country operating plans.
• Lead CMC commercialization strategy and readiness, translating market and patient/customer needs into product configurations, SKU strategy, launch sequencing, delivery models and executable cross-functional plans.
• Own the end-to-end product value chain strategy and roadmap, including value-stream maps, current and target conditions, performance metrics, improvement priorities, and physical, information/document and financial flows.
• Drive product supply-chain and manufacturing network strategy, including network footprint, multi-site manufacturing and packaging configurations, capacity flexibility, intercompany/product-ownership flows, tax and tariff considerations, and disruption and scenario readiness.
• Integrate clinical and commercial supply planning across the product lifecycle, ensuring demand visibility, inventory strategy, planning and master-data readiness, reliable supply-chain operations, and an effective transition from launch to steady-state commercial supply.
• Own post-launch product performance and risk management, including the product risk register, success metrics and KPIs, mitigation plans, performance gaps, and escalation of key risks and decisions through appropriate leadership forums.
• Lead post-launch CMC regulatory lifecycle and variation management, including ASU for 1010 and 1083, RTQs, global expansion readiness, market commitments and health authority responses. Partner closely with the Variation Office and functional teams while applying the agreed Product Lead/Product Owner ownership model.
• Own commercial product image and lifecycle readiness, coordinating global and local artwork, labeling and packaging configurations, manufacturing-site implementation, change control, serialization and traceability, master data and supply readiness.
• Act as the CMC/Product Team leader and representative in enterprise forums, driving cross-functional decision-making, governance, financial planning and alignment across CMC, Commercial, Regulatory and Supply Chain.
• Lead communication and coordination of major product lifecycle activities, including launches, technology transfers, network changes and other cross-functional product initiatives, ensuring clear ownership, dependencies and timely execution.
• Drive operational excellence and continuous improvement, using lifecycle learnings, data, benchmarking and value-stream performance to establish reusable standards and improve product and supply-chain performance.
• Explore opportunities to apply Generative AI and other digital tools to product lifecycle management, scenario planning, synthesis of complex information and cross-functional decision support, complementing Moderna's broader commitment to data-driven and digitally enabled ways of working.
• Undertake additional duties as may be assigned from time to time.
